The War Has Begun

This is the line

This is the place

And when we cross it over

All we got is faith

This is the time

It's here and now

And only pain awaiting

On the other side

Oh mother, oh father

The war has begun

We've burnt and we've plundered

This earth

Oh mother, oh father

Forgive what we've done

Can't rise from the ashes, can't run

The war has begun

The war has begun

This is our life

This is our choice

And all the consequences

And the comforting voice

This is our call

It's our last chance

And now we hand it over

With our bloodstained hands

Oh mother, oh father

The war has begun

We've burnt and we've plundered

This earth

Oh mother, oh father

Forgive what we've done

Can't rise from the ashes, can't run

The war has begun

The war has begun
